Lance, I know exactly where you saw it. Bobby is crebible, but prone to bouts of dramatism. To be fair, it was sensational journalism at it's finest, not unlike some of his pronouncements of amazing new brands or exclusive models. The CURRENT Speedmaster Professional models are being discontinued. T...

It's a fine looking watch (and a truly stunning display back), but this trend of putting broken bits of cars, planes and desks in watches to justify inflated prices needs to end. It's just silly.

I think Neil and Viognier have nailed it. The new CW "DNA" should be based on the lightcatcher case, with a distinct but consistent design language in each line. Being 15 years old now, I think CW needs to start looking at a longer lifespan in is designs. The lightcatcher case (with updates if warra...

Impressive. Tacky, but impressive. Of course, if this was from CW, it would have had bits of wrecked Chiron in it. Agreed, but it would be half the price at least. :lol: I didn't look at the price of it (if you have to ask...), but I'm guessing the CW version would be closer to 1% of the price.

Interesting topic, and one I've thought about often. I think that the brand DNA has changed over the years, and TBH, I'm not sure exactly what it is right now. With the early models (C1, C3, C5) the family resemblance was strong, and their was a clear design language. Simple cases with a specific lu...

Nice looking product, but I won't be ordering one. It's much too large for my needs. With electronic locks on the house and garage, and keyless entry/starting on the car, the only key I carry is the fob for the car, and it stays in my pocket all the time. I wouldn't mind a small leather case for the...

The short answer on using 18mm straps on a 19mm watch is maybe. The long answer is that it depends on the strap. My own experience with a recently acquired 19mm watch is that not all 18mm straps are the same width. Some of my 18's look ok on the watch. Others leave visible gaps. 20mm straps generall...

Apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere (I couldn't see anything on this thread) but what is it about a Sapphire dial that it needs or shows 2 screw heads at the 3 and 9 positions? Normally a dial has feet on the back that slot into holes in the movement to help position the dial co...

I'm pleasantly surprised by how tastefully all the elements hang together on this watch. The waves on the dial make it much nicer than the C60 Sapphire. I didn't really like the nakedness of the unfinished movement showing through the Sapphire dial. In contrast, the waves in BLUE hide some of that ...

Impressive. Tacky, but impressive. Of course, if this was from CW, it would have had bits of wrecked Chiron in it.

Looks great Jamie. That picture captures the lines of the lightcatcher case nicely too.

That strap
Wonder if it will be available separately?

1) buy a SS C60
2) swap movements/dials. Hands too if you want, but the C60 Bronze hands wouldn't look good in a SS case IMO.
3) sell the new custom C60 Bronze

Congratulations Jamie. You've probably figured out by now, but we expect pictures!

I THINK my auto and my fathers quartz C5's share the same thickness case back, so you are probably ok there. The challenge is going to be the movement holder and handset. A different movement holder is a definite, and different hands are almost a certainty due to differing sizes of holes. Enjoy it a...
